Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to hydrophilic ultraviolet light absorbing monomers. More particularly, this invention relates to ultraviolet light absorbing monomers polymerizable as co-monomers with other polymerizable monomers and co-polymers. In one of its more particular aspects, this invention relates to an ultraviolet light absorbing monomer polymerizable as a co-monomer with other suitable hydrophilic monomers into optically transparent, high refractive index hydrogels which are especially useful in the fabrication of intraocular lenses and contact lenses.
  • Optical devices in the form of intraocular lenses and contact lenses have been commercially available for several decades.
  • the primary indication for use has been as an adjunct for improving the wearer's visual acuity. This is accomplished by adding or subtracting small amounts of diopter power to the surface of the cornea.
  • the contact lens also may have correction for astigmatism.
  • a contact lens should be stable at temperatures at, or below, body temperature in an aqueous environment, non-toxic and not contain leachable compounds.
  • intraocular lenses With intraocular lenses, the primary indication for use has been for the replacement of the natural crystalline lens of humans and other mammals that were lost to injury and/or cataract formation.
  • the natural lens is generally a biconvex lens, from 6 to 13 mm in width, that has considerable optical power, nearly 20 diopters. Therefore, compared to a contact lens, replacing a damaged natural lens requires the use of a substantially larger, thicker, intraocular implant lens.
  • an intraocular lens should be stable at body temperature in an aqueous environment, non-toxic and not contain leachable compounds.
  • the materials of choice for forming intraocular and contact lenses were the acrylates and methacrylates, particularly polymethylmethacrylate. These materials form rigid, glass-like lenses that are easily shaped to the desired optical correction. These compounds are successful as contact lenses and are generally known as the "hard" contact lenses.
  • various hydrogels and elastomeric silicones have been developed that are rollable, foldable or deformable, yet resilient.
  • the lens When folded or deformed, the lens may be inserted into the eye through incisions as small as 2-3 mm.
  • the resiliency of these materials provides for these lenses to re-assume their original biconvex optical shape after insertion.
  • the materials used in these soft lenses have proven to provide optically clear lenses with sufficient indices of refraction, yet are strong or resilient enough to withstand the folding, deformation or rolling processes needed to achieve the smaller incision sizes.
  • the folding, deforming or rolling capabilities of these substances, providing for smaller incisions, is a substantial improvement for the patient in terms of reduced trauma to the eye, improved post surgical healing and reduction in complications.
  • UV light protection is not the only improvement that has been sought. Another improvement being sought is ultraviolet (UV) light protection.
  • UV light absorption for contact and intraocular lenses is at least as important as UV absorption for skin found in sun screens. What amount of UV light protection a native lens provides is lost when it is removed, increasing the risk to the retina from deleterious exposure to UV light if that protection is not restored. UV light protection for the eye may be enhanced by providing UV absorbers in contact lenses or in intraocular lens implants.
  • UV light absorbers in hydrogels for use in contact and intraocular lenses pose other problems, as well.
  • Optical hydrogels suitable for use in contact or intraocular lenses need clarity, good optical power, stability and resilience. Because of the long term use of contact and intraocular lenses, especially for intraocular lenses, the UV light absorbing compound should stay put within the copolymer. If the UV light absorber leaches out, there is the risk to the surrounding tissue from the chemical exposure. There is also the increasing risk from UV exposure as the UV light absorption capability diminishes over time.
  • UV light absorbers for use in hydrogels should be polymerizable as a comonomer in the hydrogel.
  • Benzophenone based UV absorbers are polymerizable, but the resultant polymers may not be thermally stable, particularly when hydrated.
  • the UV absorbing portion cleaves and leaches out of the polymer.
  • UV absorbers are hydrophobic and not very soluble with hydrophilic hydrogel comonomers and copolymers. Even though these compounds are somewhat soluble with hydrophilic comonomers and copolymers, when hydrated within a hydrogel, they tend to coalesce from microphase separation. This coalescence clouds the material rendering it undesirable for use as a lens.
  • UV light absorber is the class of phenylbenzotriazoles, such as 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole and its derivatives. These derivatives are polymerizable and stable against hydrolysis, and like the phenol based UV light absorbers, these compounds tend to be hydrophobic. The hydrophobic characteristic leads to microphase separation and clouding.
  • the hydrophobicity of the UV light absorber also decreases the amount of water absorption into the hydrogel.
  • the decreased water absorption creates a harder, less resilient hydrogel material.
  • the amount of UV light absorber is kept to a minimum to make a resilient, optically clear hydrogel.
  • current use of hydrophobic UV light absorbers in optically clear material do not produce hydrogels with substantial UV light absorbing characteristics.
  • substantial UV light absorption is at least 90% absorption of light at or below 372 nm wavelength.
  • US-A-4,526,311 (Beard at al) describes ultraviolet light absorbing polymer compositions comprising copolymers of 2-Hydroxy-5-acrylyloxyphenyl-2H-benzotriazoles with one or more other monomers copolymerizable therewith, particularly acrylic monomers are useful in the manufacture of occular devices, particularly intraoccular lenses and contact lenses.
  • Polymers of the disclosed benzotriazoles may be added to other organic materials to impart ultraviolet absorbing properties thereo.
  • US -A-4,611,061 (Beard et al)describes that the compounds 2'-hydroxy-5'-(hydroxyalkyl)phenyl-2H-benzotriazoles are useful as intermediate alcohols in the preparation of corresponding 2'-hydroxy-5'-acrylyloxyphenyl-2H-benzotriazole monomers, which in turn are copolymerizable with ethylenically unsaturated monomers, particularly acrylic monomers, to impart ultraviolet absorbing properties to the resulting copolymers.
  • US-A-5,384,235 describes a photographic element with particular polymeric ultraviolet absorbers..
  • Elements of the invention have good fresh D min and image dye stability, and the ultraviolet absorbers therein are highly light stable EP-A-0,274,844 (Iolab Corp.) describes ultraviolet light absorbing compositions comprising 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-acryloyloxyalkoxyphenyl)-2H-benzotriazoles, and copolymers with one or more other monomers copolymerizeable therewith. They are useful in the manufacture of ocular devices, particularly intraocular lenses and contact lenses.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide stable increased hydrophilicity UV light absorbing hydrogels having the properties of optical transparency and resiliency while substantially absorbing UV light.
  • the present invention provides a monomer as defined in Claim I of the accompanying claims.
  • Copolymers formed from monomers of the present invention upon cross-linking and hydration, provide for hydrogels having high optical clarity, high water content, high index of refraction, are stable with good resiliency, and absorb at least 90% of the incident UV light at wavelengths at or below 400 nm.
  • the invention thus further provides for homopolymers of monomers as defined in Claim 1 and hydrogels comprising cross-linked copolymers comprising one or a mixture of comonomers including as a comonomer the monomers as defined in Claim 1 and at least one polymerizable comonomer.
  • optical clarity shall refer to above 90% light transmission for wavelengths in the visual spectrum.
  • the hydrogels are non-toxic and suitable for implantation within living systems.
  • these hydrogels are suitable for use as UV light absorbing contact and intraocular lenses, and these are also within the scope of the invention.
  • novel hydrophilic UV light absorbing compositions comprise 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-acryloxyalkoxyalkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazoles. These novel hydrophilic UV light absorbing compositions are exemplified by 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloxyethyoxymethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole.
  • the benzotriazole based UV absorbers like other UV light absorbing compositions, are generally hydrophobic and are not soluble in water.
  • the exemplary compound, 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloxyalkoxyalkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole may be synthesized using the corresponding 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-hydroxyalkoxyalkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole reacting with methacryloyl chloride in the presence of pyridine in co-solvents of ethyl ether and dichloromethane at 0-10° C.
  • the choices for other comonomers for use in the hydrogels of the present invention may either be derivatives of acrylic acid, such as acrylates, methacrylates, acrylamides or methacrylamides; vinyl-substituted amides; or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds which are substituted with unsaturated sidechains, such as vinyl or acryloyl sidechains.
  • Hydrogel materials of the present invention include copolymers formed of at least one hydrophilic or water soluble monomer. Other, additional comonomers may be hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Particular examples are copolymers of various acrylate and acrylamide compounds such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and N-benzyl-N-methylacrylamide, along with a cross-linking compound such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. These compounds are allowed to undergo sufficient cross-linking to hydrate to hydrated equilibrium water contents ranging from about 15% to about 65% and have refractive indices, n D 20 , ranging from 1.41 to 1.52, wet.
  • n D 20 refractive indices
  • the comonomers are polymerized with from about 1% to about 5% of the hydrophilic polymerizable UV light absorbing comonomers of the present invention, resulting in stable, non-toxic, hydrogels that also exhibit UV light absorption of at least 90% of light at or below 400 nm wavelength. These optically clear UV light absorbing hydrogels are useful in intraocular lenses, contact lenses and related applications.
  • the present invention provides novel hydrophilic UV light absorbing polymerizable compositions which provide further for hydrophilic UV light absorbing polymeric materials which are suitable for forming hydrogels.
  • the UV light absorbing compositions within the hydrogels are hydrolytically stable and non-leachable.
  • Hydrogels of the present invention are optically clear UV light absorbing cross-linked polymers and copolymers. Hydrogels, generally, and processes for their formation are well documented in the literature.
  • An exemplary class of UV light absorbing hydrogel-forming polymers includes cross-linked polymers and copolymers which hydrate to a relatively high hydrated equilibrium water content.
  • high water content UV light absorbing hydrogels generally have difficulty with microphase separation of the hydrophobic UV light absorbers which dramatically interfere with the optical clarity of the hydrogel. Decreasing the content of hydrophobic UV light absorber may solve the microphase problem, only to substantially decrease the efficacy of the UV light absorption characteristic.
  • the hydrogel polymers and copolymers of the present invention have water equilibrium contents of 15% or greater.
  • the hydrogel polymers of the present invention have refractive indices of at least 1.41.
  • the hydrogel polymers of the present invention have sufficient content of hydrophilic UV light absorbers to provide at least 90% absorption of incident UV light at or below 400 nm wavelength without appreciable loss of optical clarity.

  • the alkyloxy portion of the compound is alkylene oxide, such as ethylene oxide and is hydrophilic.
  • the coexistence of the hydrophobic methylene repeating units with the hydrophilic alkylene oxide unit is part of the unique character of this novel class of UV light absorbers.
  • Exemplary compounds of the present invention include 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloxyethoxymethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole and 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloxyethoxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole.

  • 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-acryloxy(alkoxy)alkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole is polymerizable as a comonomer with a wide variety of comonomers to form polymers and copolymers.
  • the exemplary hydrophilic comonomers yield hydrogels having high water content, high refractive index n D 20 /n D 37 , and good strength, resiliency and stability.
  • 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-acryloxy(alkoxy)alkylphenyl-2H-benzotriazole provides the hydrogels with a UV light absorption of at least 90% absorption of light at or below 400 nm wavelengths.
  • hydrogel forming polymers are cross-linked polymers of water soluble or hydrophilic monomers or copolymers of water soluble and water insoluble monomers.
  • cross-linking agents which can be used to produce the hydrogels of the present invention include 1,3-propanediol diacrylate, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, 1,6-hexamethylene diacrylate, 1,4-phenylene diacrylate, glycerol tris (acryloxypropyl), ether, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,3-propanediol dimethacrylate, 1,6-hexamethylene dimethacrylate, 1,10-decanediol dimethacrylate, 1,12-dodecanediol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, glycerol trimethacrylate, N,N'-octamethylenebisacrylamide, N,N'-dodecanomethylenebisacrylamide, N,N'-(1,2-dihydroxyethylene)bisacrylamide, allyl methacrylamide, divinylpyridine, 4,6-divinylpyrimidine, 2,5
